Comments

For the number of prime factors in a(n) see A135975. For indices of primes n in composite 2^prime(n)-1 see A135980. For smallest prime divisors of Mersenne composites see A136030. For largest prime divisors of Mersenne composites see A136031. For largest divisors see A145097. - Artur Jasinski, Oct 01 2008

All the terms are Fermat pseudoprimes to base 2 (A001567). For a proof see, e.g., Jaroma and Reddy (2007). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 24 2021
